The Powerful Entity

I voyaged through the expanse of space for uncountable years until I came across what I was looking for. I came across life.

However, upon my throne of flesh and bone. I received an uninvited guest. A large being appeared before me out of now where. My powerful mind immediately recognizing the being. The odd being was a Precursor of the Halo universe. Which means, I am in the Halo Universe during an extremely early period. As the Precursors have not "passed" on their duties to the Forerunners.

Precursors are higher dimensional beings that have structure built in the 6th dimension. Currently in the 3rd dimension, I would not even eb able to perceive these structures. Each one is essentially a god compared to the beings they manage.

"You...are a unique form of life. I've never come across anything resembling what you are. You bring dead material to life through psionic influence. A lifeform that is not organic, but interacts with the world through dead puppets. Do you have a name?", the Precursor asked me.

My old name has no meaning to me anymore from the passage of time. I've outgrown my humanity. I see through different eyes and think with different thoughts.

I respond, "I have no name. None came before me and there is no after me."

Across the eyes of the alien god, a flicker of interest.

"A truly unique being. Powerful too. Perhaps, you are suited for a higher purpose.", its says aloud.

I question, "What sort of purpose?"

"I have already discerned your nature. You need to feed on the psionic energy of the living to feed, and be supplied with more necrotic material to sustain your biological presence. Even if controlled to a near perfect degree. Dead material can only last so long. You will probably torment and destroy whatever civilization you come across. As is your nature. For this, I will not fault you. However, you can properly directed.", It explains.

"Directed how?", I inquire.

"Simple, I, or we, tell you what civilizations need to be punished. Then you may destroy them. Then we'll reseed. As more often than not. Civilizations that are foolish and too destructive are quite common. It takes many cycles before a species develops wisely rather than foolishly. Such detrimental civilizations cannot be allowed to persist for the health of the galaxy.", It answers.

This is a win-win situation for me. I get a stable supply of what I need. While the Precursors get an apocalyptic vacuum cleaner. I like it.

I stand up with my body, "I'll accept this cooperation. You guide me, I'll do what is in my nature."

The Precursor moves in delight, "Very gooood. My name is @#$%#. I will be your...Handler. As I started this cooperation. Would you like me to name you?"

I contemplated only for a moment. I had a thought that I was being treated like a pet. Not much I can do about that though. I am severely outclassed by only a single Precursor. There is a whole species of them. It is better for me to just be gracious about the gifts I am receiving.

I nod, "A name would be appreciated."

I will call the Precursor, Handler, from now on. As the name was not something I could understand.

The Handler easily named me, "You will be called, Necromancer. I will bring you to the location of the first civilization you need to destroy. As traveling sublight will take too long."

The entire blood moon was then pulled into the 6th dimension. My powerful mind was heavily strained, but adapting. Just not adapting fast enough. As when I was brought out of the 6th dimension. MY mind was temporarily in disarray for a few minutes.

Once I came out of my. There was a solar system before me.

Handler speaks to me, "They have not left their solar system let. The cradle world is the 4th world from the star. Have a nice meal Necromancer. I will be monitoring your work."

The Handler then faded out of existence.

I just shrug my shoulders, "Guess it is that easy. Time to eat."

Over time, I had built 10 red markers. Using a disgusting contraption of rotted flesh. I "Launched" them at every inhabited world. The end result can only be one thing now.
